Newcastle Bags Race 4 - @Newcastledogs On Twitter Stakes

DROOPYS TURF (3) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fourth (29.45) at this track latest. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Should be very hard to beat this time. CANNY STUNNER (2) hit the frame with a close-up second two runs back then claimed an A8 by 4 lengths at this track over 480m (29.66) last time. In winning form and worth following up despite rising a grade. SHORTEN THE TALE (1) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage second, beaten one length (29.74) at this track in an A7 over 480m. Can measure up. EMERS BIDDY (6) is down a grade after finishing fifth two starts back at this track then was again out of the placings at her latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.58). Deserves another chance this class.
